Default Word 2003 Style Set

First, to clarify what a Style Set contains. A Style Set contains a group of
styles that include font and paragraph formatting only, not section
formatting such as page margins. Only a template contains styles and section
formatting.

So the Word 2003 Style Set can't include the margins but I agree, it should
use Times New Roman and I'm not sure why it doesn't. (I *thought* at one
time it did). I think you're right in your assessment and that the main
reason it's there is for the "old" spacing.

Now, if you want to change the fonts for the style set, or any style set, to
the 2003 look use the Fonts list found under Change Styles and select
"Office Classic". Of course you can always change your default margins and
fonts instead of using the "Office Word 2003 Look" template.

The Word 2003 Style Set that Microsoft added in its final release uses
1-inch
margins rather than Word 2003's 1.25-inch margins and uses Calibri 12
rather
than TNR 12. Does anyone know why Microsoft did this? It's not truly a
Word
2003 style set. Did they add the style set due to negative reactions to
the
settings for wide line spacing and spacing between paragraphs? Also, I see
that they have an "Office Word 2003 Look" template, which does use the
Word
2003 defaults for margins and fonts and spacing, so it seems odd that they
would not do the same for the Word 2003 Style Set. All information
appreciatted.
